Kate Middleton and Prince William have released their 2018 family Christmas card photo - and it is GORGEOUS!

Just in time for Christmas, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released their family Christmas card photo, featuring all three of their children.

The royal couple have selected a rather informal picture for their annual festive greeting this year, which sees them seated on a log with Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince Louis, eight months.

Believed to have been taken in Autumn, the family all wore coordinating blues in the grounds of their country retreat, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.

Kensington Palace wrote on alongside the photo on Instagram: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family."

"The photograph, taken by Matt Porteous, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children at Anmer Hall, and features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year."

Posting the photo to his own Instagram account, Porteous said: "It was an honour to be asked to photograph The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family at Anmer Hall. Capturing the fun and relaxed moments between such a wonderful family was a true privilege."

Meghan Markle - who is expecting her first child in April 2019 - is wearing her gorgeous Stella McCartney gown alongside Prince Harry, and the couple are seen with their arms wrapped around each other watching fireworks at their lavish wedding reception.

Kensington Palace added on Twitter: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to share a new photograph from their Wedding Reception at Frogmore House on 19th May."

"The photograph, which features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card, was taken by photographer Chris Allerton."
